Yes , all Australians racists. They all drive cars with slogans about different races which are usually racially charged. People with more money prefer to have there car painted with the factory option "Rasict slogan" and most dealers have 20 page book to choose you very own slogan, or you can pay extra and have them paint a slogan of your makings. But people who can't afford that option usually just paint their own cars to save money.
Is this allowed in Australia ???? or simply a country of racists.
Read the article again, it is a minority group that is obviously one beer short of a six pack and the government is fumming over it. So no, I hardly find this as an excuse to generalise a whole nation as racists.

So, you are telling that "Racist Slogan" is common in Australia, while it's all small pieces.
But I have NEVER seen racist slogan "Harpoon XXX" in public space in Japan.
I don't intend to generalize a whole nation - Australia, but I can see that Australia must be quite a unique country to enjoy racist slogan .... as a joke or something ???

I would have to agree with Dave.
That group is very extreme to say such a thing, but that doesn't mean that the whole country is like that.
It would be the same as seeing a picture of one of those uyoku trucks and then declaring that all Japanese are like that to say that everyone in Australia is like the people who own that van.

REALLY?????
The slogan of Uyoku (extreme tight wing) trucks is usually .... "Love Japan & Be Patriotic"..... Plus some noisy old army songs. And those slogans are quite modest in terms of global standard. In the USA, people sing a song "God Bless America" in baseball stadium everyday....
However..... "Harpoon a Jap & Save Whale" is quite uneasy, I think. IF Japanese right-wingers says "Harpoon Ausie & Save Kangaroos", Australians still smiling?????

Yes, but Astroboy, how many trucks have been painted that way?
My point is just that you can not judge an entire population by one picture.
Having said that, yes I think that the people who did that to their own car are dispicable. Advocating for the death of an innocent human being is hard to forgive.

Are you kidding me? Just b/c one idiot painted his van that way you are going to say it is common for people to do this kind of thing. You are obviously unable to grasp sarcasm, so I should appologise for that.
Just the same that Japan could enjoy a magazine like this???
Does that make me think that the majority of Japan feels the same way? No I don't.
So how do you defend these peoples actions in Japan? Do you think they have every right to post signs like these or make a magazine that is clearly propaganda against foriegners? I would love to hear your veiws on this topic.
Astroboy I think you need to step out from that rock you living under and take a real good look around.

"Foreign Crime File" - Can you read Japanese Text??? Which is racist text such as "Harpoon Ausie? Japanese should know how much crime rate of foreigners in order to protect ourselves.
Japanese shop onwers are entitled to protect their shops from violent Russian. What's wrong?
FrustratedDave I think you need to step out from that rock you living under and take a real face of Australians.

"Save a Whale – Harpoon a Jap" slogan may not be exceptional in Asutralia.
Most Racist Australian Commercial
John Singleton is whale-safe beer(Blue Tongue beer) campaigner. He urges a boycott on Lion Nathan beers despite Australian beer company, because a large shareholder in the company is Japanese brewer Kirin. The feud between Singleton and Lion Nathan has escalated with claim of racism over the adman's controversial this campaign. Kirin insists it has no connection to whaling and that his campaign is racist.
Japanese citizens - take care in Australia - They may kill us

Racism is racism, it doesn't matter what form it takes. And yes I can read Japanese and the book is propaganda against foriegners. It is not only about foriegn crime but has other articles agaist foreigners that have nothing to do with crime. You are trying to compare content against the actaul act of racism its self and everyone who is promoting their cause feels justified for their actions. You say you have a right to proctect yourself against foriegn crime and the anti whalers say they have every right to demonstrate against whaling. You can't justify racism in any form b/c you feel its your right to do so. As for your statement about Japanese defending against violent Russians, it could also be said that people have the right to defend the defenceless whale against slaughter by whalers. So that would mean if you feel justified by those signs then I would imagine that you should be fine with any anti whaling slogans, which would mean this conversation is pointless don't you think?

And you should believe everything you read on the internet. (Inserts rolleyes smiley)
And BTW, I am out from under my rock, I know there is racism all over the world, but is Japan less racist than the next country? I don't think so, it is you who seems to thing that there is no crap in your garden. You can only do your part by not partaking in any of these racially charged movments.

Just like Japanese treat zainchi kankokujin's. Tit for tat don't you think? Let me know when you step off your soap box.At the Sydney Olympics Opening Ceremony.
Australians may believe that they can treat Japanese - in the same way as Aborigines.... LOL.

What's wrong with Koreans? They are living in Japan on privilege class with their wish. Korea (South or North) is an independent sovereign nation. They can return to Korea when they want.
But Aborigine do not have any option to go because Whities occupy their land. If you want to quote something Korean as a counter offer to the racism in Australia, All Whitires must go back to Europe first !
After all, Australian racism over the Japanese whaling cannot be justified. You better admit that Australia is the most racist country of the world. Are you proud ?

another Australia VS Japan thread... I remember what happened to the last thread like that. Keep it nice and respect each other!
1 crazy fool does not mean that the whole country is like that. Every country has some extreme people, including Japan.

After they were forced to come here. But this is a whole different topic of discussion.
Yes just like the Ainu wouldn't you say? So it would be fair to say that all Japanese should go back to where they came from going off your way of thinking?
What makes you think I am Australian? Just b/c I am commenting on the topic?
Anyway, please tell me why racism over whaling can't be justifed, but racism towards foreingers in Japanese can? Neither should be allowed, but I am interested in your thoughts on the topic.

LOL. Old tactis and brainwashed by Korean propaganda. It does not work out anymore. Yes. off-topic.
Excellent idea. You are telling a deal to trade Hokkaido and Australia. Let's withdraw from those lands at the same time. LOL.
This is the typical tactics Whities adopt when they argue something or debate with somebody. They are telling that Japanese must be patient about any racism.
Well. I don't care racism because racists like some Australians are simply inferior, and I have never experienced any racism overseas, and some Japanese may still be racist against foreigners. But I don't agree to the attitude - Japanese are not allowed to speak out becase Japan has similar case.

I'm perplexed at how you can judge the entire country on the slogan of an extremist environmental group. This is after all Wicked campers that are well known to pull off stunts like this one.
By your logic because of the September 9/11 attacks we should spurn all arabs because they're obviously all terrorists. No country is ever perfect nor free of racism. Japan isnt exactly a multicultural utopia and neither is Australia. Both countries have their problems I frankly am horrified at that kind of slogan obviously made by a bunch of narrowminded extremists.
Ok you replied before I could get in, but yeah this is not something that the majority would condone, it makes me mad someone actually wrote something that horrible.

I don't follow...
Going back to the origal post of yours, this topic was about in your words, quote "Is this allowed in Australia ???? or simply a country of racists." So the simple answer is no, the people that promote this kind of racism are extreme and a minority. So yes feel free to voice your oppinions on racism, but be aware that these minority groups occur every where, even Japan and don't assume that the country as a whole are a bunch of racists, that goes for Japan too.
Keep doing your part and one day this kind of mentality will be a thing of the past.

Geez astro how about if I drove around in a van like this here in Japan? Would we all here in Japan then be racist and against Aussie's for their rape and killing of sheep?
Think about it once, it has been pointed out to you that it is a fringe group, you know what that is right, that did this. Does it make it right?
Hell no, anyone that advocates killing another person for there beliefs or to promote their own agenda is wacked in the mind in my opinion.

Yes, obviously they are one of fringe groups.
But such fringe group seems to be MORE in Australia, UK and USA. I don't see extreme atnti-Japanese whaling fringe groups in France, Italy, Spain, Russia, China, India and even South Korea. Are there any reason behind ??
Meantime, the van with English drawing is not realistic in Japan because we don't use English here. IF you had a look, please show me the source.

Ok then what is your point? Since you obviously agree that it is a fringe group and not the main stream what's the point of this thread?
So? Again what's the point? Just because Japanese are not interested in vocalizing their objections to international issues like people from other countries what point are you attempting to make here?
It is obvious that the point of my thread went over your head.
I'm sorry you didnt catch it.
Is this a better example...............

( I apologize for not reading comments on this thread because i dont have time)
Based on my knowledges from living in Australia for over 14 years and espectially when I looked a bit like a Japanese I happenned to be in the center of attentions when i live in Aus these days.
Not only Australian but nearly every White people in Australia are the same and they hate Japanese for whaling. Despites having bad hearings, I happened to hear alot of comments from white people talking about Asian while walking on the street, they often talks to let me hear them and I really think that there are alot of supremacy in them. Definately!
White people often looked up to their own people so it's easy to explain why other countries such as America and countries from Europe are against whaling as well. They always war on other countries and kill millions of people and it doesn't count to them but when we have anything they are against, we will be in big trouble.
Anti-Japanese is not much of a whaling problem but it's more of supremacy. The white people in this case they are showing supremacy towards Asia and showing other countries not to mess with them, well...or else?

From my perspective, Australia has been struggling with growing racial conflicts as the country needs foreign migrants for economic growth, while they don't like to undertake non-Whites.
Japanese are not interested in foreign countries but only in tourism, and Australia is one of the resorts for tourism, but other Asians or the rest of the world see that country as a final destination....
Australian government says ....
At the 2006 Census, overseas-born people in Australia were from North-West Europe (1.4 million), Southern and Eastern Europe (722 000), South-East Asia (553 000), Oceania (496 000), North-East Asia (389 000), Southern and Central Asia (268 000), North Africa and the Middle East (251 000), Sub-Saharan Africa (192 000) and the Americas (180 000).
The biggest increases in population of overseas-born people between the 2001 and 2006 Censuses were from China (64 000), India (52 000), New Zealand (34 000) and South Africa (25 000). Of the country-of-birth groups that had a population of more than 1000 at the 2006 Census, the fastest growing were people from Liberia (up 1240 per cent from the 2001 Census), Sierra Leone (up 437 per cent) and the Sudan (up 288 per cent). http://www.dfat.gov.au/aib/society.html
Maybe in the near future, Australia becomes True Asia or Africa.
